Diet for the Lean.

Dr. Louis Henry Levy, in Pictorial Review says: “Though the lean Individual may be the more agile and vigorous, leanness is also associated with those of a nervous temperament. It Is not always a desirable condition, since it prematurely ages the face by the early app'earance'of wrinkles. It is also the accompaniment of chronically diseased stomachs, resulting from a disturbed digestion and poor absorption of the digested foods. “The foods which are best adapted fob the lean are those that have been denied to the obese person—the starches, sugars, and fats, but sqfticient care must be exercised to prevent disturbing an entirely good stomach. Let the lean one eat well of the rich foods and sever relations with the sour and spicy ones. Above all, let her cultivate a sunny, restful disposition, with a nervous system under steady control, for these are the trademarks of the robust and plump person.”

Useful Playmates.

“I hope you are selecting playmates whose companionship will be of value to you," said Jimmy’s mother. "Oh, sure,” replied Jimmy; “Skinny Jones Is teaching me how to black eyes, and Tug Higgins says, If I’ll give him my roller skates, he’ll teach me the punch that knocked out Bombardier Wells.” —Pearson’s Weekly.

Urgent.

Just as the dinner was on the table, and the family had gathered about It, Big Sister stepped into the hall to look at her hair in the mirror there. Helen was hungry, and everything did look and smell so good, and yet she knew well that father would not say grace until Big Sister was also in her seat. “Hurry up, Ruth,” she called, “God’s waiting.”—New York Evening Post.

HAS BUT ONE RAIL

IRIBH LINE 18 SOMETHING OF A CURIOSITY. Only Ten Miles In Length, but System Employed Makes It Unique—“ Atmospheric Railroad" •• Another Freak Idea. The most curious railroad In existence today Is, without a doubt, the Lis* towel & Bullybunlon railroad, In the west of Ireland. This little line, whose length Is only ten miles, is quaint alike In its nurne and in the system employed. Although an Irish railroad, the system Is the Invention of a French engineer, and Is known as the “Lartigue single rail elevated railroad.” The “single rail,” It should be added, does not mean a single trnck railroad. It actually has only one rail for engine and train to run on. ■ . The rail is supported on Iron trestles at a height of three feet three inches from the ground, and the locomotive and train are actually balanced on it. The carriages hang down on each side of the line, and passengers in them sitting back to buck. All this is suflieiently curious, but the locomotives of this extraordinary line are the most eccentric looking of objects ever seen in waking hours or

out of nightmares. They are bulTt with twin boilers and smokestacks, and between them is a huge headlight resembling those in use on American and Canadian railroads. There has alwnys been some question as to how our English standard railroad gauge came into existence at the measurement of four feet eight and one-half inches. The generally-received opinion is that this was the gauge in use at the collieries when George Stephenson first conceived the idea of the locomotive engine. A very curious tram line survival on Dartmoor takes us back to the days before steam railroads. This is the granite tramway originally laid down for the purpose of conveying the granite hewn out near Hey Tor for the rebuilding of London bridge. Long, grooved lengths of granite were placed along the hillside, and on these the stone was conveyed down to the Sover canal at Teigngrace, and thence floated by barge to Teignmouth. Arrived there, it was transferred to sailing ships for London. -—„ — Not very much of this primitive granite railroad remains at Hey Tor among the heather and the bracken, for tnS farmers, being frugal persons, have removed most of the lengths to serve as rubbing posts for their cattle. An Air Pressure Line.Along the main line of the Great Western railroad in South Devon there are some curious survivals of systems once the pets of celebrated engineers, and as such tried and found unsatisfactory. Thus, when you come to Starcross, where the line runs so picturesquely along the salt water estuary of the Exe, a tall red sandstone tower will be noticed, adjoining the station. It is quite an ornament in the distant view, and gives rather an Italian air to the surroundings. This and another building at Totnes are the only surviving evidences of a system invented by Brunei. This was the “atmospheric railroad,” by

Relic of Air Pressure Railroad.

which trains were to be drawn along by air pressure in pipes laid down alongside the line. The "South Devon railroad,” as It was then, was built by him with the Idea of doing without locomotive engines. Tlye only engines to be employed were to be those in these engine houses creating air pressure. The method was tried at great cost, and after almost ruinous expense had to be abandoned. Meanwhile, the buildi&gs—let off for various purposes —serve as reminders of q curious incident in railroad his-tory-—Londop Answers.

Railroad Capitalization.

The total railway operating revenues for the year amounted to $2,956,000,000, with operating expenses of $2,088,000,000. # The railway capital of the United States actually outstanding on June 30, 1915, ($19,719,000,000), was equal to all the nations of the earth, computed prior to the outbreak of the European war. It is a sum representing more than 10 per cent of the total wealth of the country, and equal to the wealth of Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands combined.

ALL ORDERED TO SALUTE

Female Employees on German Lines Have Been Put Under Military - Regulations, _ Social and economic conditions In Germany have undoubtedly lieen greatly disturbed by the war, but a lofty determination to continue to do all things in the regular wuy is Indicated In an article in n late copy of the Elberfeld (Prussia) Kurler, concerning the proper demeanor of the present street railroad employees toward their superiors, remarks the Cincinnati TlmesStar. The situation Is not without Its humor, since the present employees are women, and It Is Insisted upon that they shull not cheerily respond “Good morning” when a superior greets them, but shall remain silent and respond only with, a correet military salute. Arid, if one may judge by the manner in Which the subject Is treated in the Kurier, It is considered one of serious Importance. The various orders oft the subject issued by the street-rail-road officials are published In full. “In accordance with the regulations of our the principal order reads, “female employees must salute their superiors by laying their hands to their head covers. It is ordered that on all our lines female conductors in uniform must salute in military fashion. This order now applies to all of our employees. When a superior greets a subordinate female employee with ‘Good morning,’ the correct reply is not ‘tlood morning,’ but the respectful raising of the hand to the head cover, in silence. If the employees in question do not observe this regulation, they will be dismissed.” There is something of the Inevitable feminine In the communication which a committee of the employees sent to the street-railroad officials upon the promulgation of this order. “Inasmuch,” they said, “as w,e do not know how to salute in correct military fashion, and as a salute incorrectly executed would indicate disrespect in as great a measure as spoken words, such as ‘Good morning,’ it is respectfully requested that the company shai-1-provlde-for-theTnsfruction of the Employees by some competent authority in the matter of saluting in correct military fashion.”

CAN WEIGH ENORMOUS LOAD

Track Scale. Recently Installed Would Seem About the Limit of Mechanical Skill. At West Albany, N. Y., one of the eastern railroad companies has installed a track scale which is theoretically capable of accommodating a 1,-650,000-pound load. It is 100 feet in

Enormous Railroad Scale for Weighing Locomotives and Other Rolling Stock.

length and is an assemblage of six weighing instruments, each designed to have a capacity of 275,000 pounds. The load applied to each section is transmitted to an additional lever and through it to a weighing beam housed at one side. The scale is one of the largest of its kind ever built and is employed in weighing locomotives and other rolling stock. Engines of the Pacific type weigh about 215 tons, but it would take four of these piled on top of each other to overload the scale. The reason for designing the mechanism for such a great capacity was partly to insure its permanent adequacy. Tests have been made which show that the variation between the different sections is less fhan ten pounds.---Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Railroad Construction Camp.

Some recent pictures show some aspects of railroad construction. The Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh is one of those railroads which believes that good care of its employees, is one of the most important details in the operation of a railroad. The location of a camp receives the personal attention of both the labor agent and the roadmaster, who carefully consider the location from the point of view of proper sanitation and an ample supply of pure spring water. The foreman and commissary clerk exact cleanliness on the part Of the laborers, neglect in this matter being sufficient cause for dismissal. The use of tents equipped with steel bunks gives sanitary conditions much better than were the old methods of using camp cars and wooden buildings, which it was impossible to keep clean.

Most Crooked Railroad.

Up California’s Tamalpa's runs the crookedest railroad in the world. Of the eight, miles of track the longest tangent is only 413 feet. In one instance the road makes five complete loops and tier two complete bow knots to attain an elevation of 90 feet The end of the line is about half a mile higher’than the starting point, and there Is not one particular steep grade in the entire system. _•

Drinking of Water

(BY V. M. PIERCE, M. D.)

The general conclusions of the latest Medical Scientists proves that drinking plenty of pure water both between meals and with one’s meals Is beneficial to health. It has now been proven by means of the X-rays and actual tests upon many healthy young men that the drinking of large amounts of water with meala Is often beneficial. Therefore if you want ta keep healthy drink plenty of pure water (not Ico water), both with your meals and between meals. If you ever suffer from backache, lumbago, rheumatism, or any of the symptoms of kidney trouble — such ns deep colored urine, sediment In urine, getting out of bed at night frequently and other troublesome effects, take a little AnflfTc before meals. These Anurlc Tablets can be obtained at almost any drug store.

“The Autumn-Dripping Gloom"

It Is very well that we have named the season fall. It Is the time when everything comes tumbling about our ears. We have never learned to adjust the work of the year so that Its divisions might fall as equal burdens upon our shoulders. Through tradition, mismanagement or necessity, the women of the world have the entire rearrangement of their segment of it in the autumn. —New York Times.

Fine Overhead.

A local nature student one rainy morning recently was picking his way through a thicket In a park when he attracted the attention of a passerby. 4 “What are you doing?” asked the curious one. “Just looking for birds.” With a significant glance-dow uwKTd at his jlripping trousers and shoes the nature student replied: “Pretty good, but it’s a bum day for anything that can’t keep Its feet up out of the grass.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
